LSIC2SD120A20A

Single Diodes Overview

The LSIC2SD120A20A is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. It features a 1200 V repetitive reverse voltage rating and a 54.5 A average rectified forward current capability. The device utilizes a TO-220-2L through-hole package configuration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V and a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 80 A. The component supports a maximum operating junction temperature of +175°C and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient for safe parallel operation.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Positive temperature coefficient ensures safe operation and facilitates easy parallel connection without current imbalance issues.
• Extremely fast switching behavior that remains unaffected by temperature variations, significantly reducing switching losses compared to silicon bipolar diodes.
• High surge current capability provides robust protection against transient overcurrent events during operation.

Single Diodes Applications

• Electric vehicle charging stations
• Solar inverters
• Switched-mode power supplies

Single Diodes Procurement Notes
